May is here, and Papayas make your skin clear!

Sweet Papaya, I love you. You refresh my palette on an easy Sunday morning. Oh how I enjoy taking the time to prepare my papaya breakfast, the ritual of cutting the papaya in half and hollowing out the center,  vigorously squeezing a lime wedge over the fleshy orange crater... and finally scooping out your first bite. I find myself in a moment of bliss as I scrape the peel for the last juices that the fruit has to offer.


Papaya is a wonderful fruit with many purposes. When it is green, it can be used as a meat tenderizer. The enzymes that papaya contains (Papain) are used as a digestive aid as well. Of course Papaya is yummy to eat on its own as it is simply delicious. Papaya is an awesome contribution from nature to skincare. Have you ever thought about using it in place of your exfoliant? Using papaya (in addition to your skincare regimin) is a great way to rid your face of some dead cells, and leave you feeling refreshed!


When it comes to skin care, Papaya is a gentle and natural exfoliant! Papaya's Papain Enzymes dissolve the outermost keratinized layer of the skin, leaving pores free to breathe and cells to renew. Papain is a proteolytic enzyme which essentially means that it is a "protein eater"... it literally breaks down the bonds that link amino acids together. Resulting in a fresh, gentle and efficient exfoliation treatment for you to enjoy.
Fresh Papaya Peel
I love to make Peels with fresh fruit. I offer a fresh-made peel during my treatments For the month of MAY I will offer this Papaya peel with each treatment I give. I make each peel according to the skin type of my client.  I chose different ingredients based on the type of skin my client may have.  Things I may add include raw organic local honey, green tea, aloe, vitamin E, fresh organic lime, and fresh organic ginger. (It is always good to remember that your skin will eventually digest what has been slathered upon it.) The products that you put on your skin will enter your blood stream and  it is then up to your body's various systems to filter itself of these invading compounds. Why not think of your skin as another digestive system? Its a great way to preserve your skin's natural immunity and appearance for years to come.

First Blog for Aloha Spirit Mobile Skincare

 It would be so awesome to be able to close your eyes, and open them to find yourself deep in a lush, cool rain forest of Hawaii. Feel the shade of the Banyons protect you from the mid-day's sun. You venture towards the light, through a tunnel of bamboo and lau hala trees. The stream you are using as a guide has a mind-numbing effect.. the water flows through your toes as the thoughts away from your mind. You see light up ahead and feel your surroundings heat up. You peer out of the trees to find slow, curling waves lapping onto the shoreline against the damp sand. Your feet sink into the hot sand and you skip into the  crystal blue water like a kid to some candy. Sharing your time with no one else, you are able to go deep inside your thoughts and relieve your busy mind and say... nothing.

Ok maybe you can't fly out to the nearest tropical beach 1st thing tomorrow morning like we all want to. You may have a job that you cannot leave easily for a quick vacation.. or rent to pay.. or you may have babies that need most of your attention. Whomever you are, wouldn't it be nice to have a "get-away" in the comfort of your own home?

I am starting this blog because I am hoping to reach out to friends and newcomers alike. I am doing facials locally, here in Marin. My services will be available to you on an out-call basis so that means you are going to receive a one of a kind treatment in the privacy of your own home.. or garden, or friend's house.. however it works for you. My products are natural and organic and I am using a lot of ingredients from the islands of Hawaii. This is exciting to me as I have spent some years in the islands and received my training on the island of Kauai. I will incorporate the theraputic and medicinal properties of plant life, sea life and other awesome resources that the islands have to offer to skincare.
You will be cleansed, exfoliated, moisturized, and protected. All preparing you to go back out into the world with a renewed face and spirit!
I will be doing a theme each month, offering a specialized service reflecting that theme.
Stay tuned...
